Emirates Anti-Narcotics Award

أTo mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (World Drug Day), the National Anti-Narcotics Council launched the Emirates Anti-Narcotics Award, in support of institutional and governmental efforts in the fight against drugs. This complements institutional efforts to promote awareness amongst community members of the dangers of drug use and abuse and the negative security, economic social and health impact of this objectionable phenomenon.

The Ministry of Interior seeks to implement the UAE’s future vision to achieve global leadership in all fields through cooperation with relevant government bodies and local community institutions and members to achieve the highest levels of security and combat drugs in a leading and sustainable manner.

The award will undergo an assessment and governance process under the supervision of the Institutional Excellence Department at the Ministry of Interior, which manages the implementation process and ensures governance (justice, transparency, responsibility and accountability). The Anti-Narcotics Council will adopt all initiatives designed to promote, provide technical support and honor winners of the award’s various categories, through a joint team with the Corporate Excellence Department.

The award spans the time period from June 26, 2018 to April 2019, and will include several stages of technical support, entries’ assessment and judging panel decision of participations, which culminates with a ceremony to honor winners of the first phase. The dates outlined below aim to ensure equal opportunities and neutrality amongst participating parties. Your support is kindly required to allow organizing entities to implement the program as planned.
